Did you try fastboot instead of adb?

Drivers are missing in your PC which leads to this error.

Can you let me know what are those drivers? or what are the drivers required.

I don't think it is a question of drivers as the device shows up fine on typing 'fastboot devices'

---

I had the same issue... I did the fastbooting in another pc... And it worked

Update to latest ADB drivers from Device Manager.

Will try that also.
Incidentally I had flashed twrp and magisk on this same poco on the same laptop and no issues, that's why didn't think it was driver issue.
Btw iirc device manager used to show fastboot Android device instead of ADB
